Jonah Goldberg gathered together his crew of conservative nerds on Book TV a couple weeks back to talk about his dumb new book, to which they all contributed. They are the next generation of conservatives, these hip 42-year-olds with elf voices. Everything was going just fine until one elf, Todd Seavey, started alluding to his [...]
They should really do one of those Dirty Jobs shows about dealing with C-SPAN callers. [Videogum]
C-SPAN has a video up of Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) on the House floor giving a speech about the evils of domestic violence. That would be a pretty normal thing for them to do! But his grandson is sitting behind him the whole time, falling asleep and thus undermining Poe’s details about how scary domestic [...]
Hey look, Al Sharpton is on the boob tube, and he looks like he hasn’t slept since the last time he called something or someone racist or mean (so: yesterday). But whatever, it’s just C-SPAN — the fourth and most laid-back Vivaldi “season” — what could possibly go awry? See? Look! A friendly black man [...]
People from the Radio-Television Correspondents Association have sent a “formal complaint” to Senate Rules Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer because the Senate has denied C-SPAN the permission to provide round-the-clock coverage of people looking at Robert Byrd’s wrinkly old corpse as it lies in state in the Senate Chamber.

Well we’re a democracy, folks, and it’s pretty (if not quite scientifically) clear what the people — erudite Fox News website readers, all of them — want. They want to watch some fuckin’ conference comittee negotiatrix dealy-do humdingers on the C-SPAN, whatever channel that is. (Is that what Spike TV becomes after 2 a.m.?) And [...]
Everyone likes to complain about how Barack Obama KEEPS BREAKING HIS BIGGEST CAMPAIGN PROMISE EVER to put every boring goddamn health care hearing or meeting or business lunch on C-SPAN — none of which they would ever watch, of course, but at least they would be There.
WOW. So this lady, “Bunny,” is so furious that, uhm, the Senate would pass Health Care Reform on, uhm, a working day/weekday before Christmas, that she just has no idea what to do at all, beyond call C-SPAN. So she took down her Christmas tree, and the wreath, because these are pagan symbols from the [...]
You know what the White House press corps loves more than anything? Naked abuse of power and ritual humiliation. Here, Robert Gibbs has HAD IT with these motherfucking phones in this motherfucking briefing room, so he forcibly takes the mobile from this poor old guy, who was probably just twittering or getting an emergency call [...]
A guy was caught selling guns from a potato chip stand in a market. It was as easy as catching a gun salesman at a potato chip stand, said police. [Washington Examiner]
On this very boring news day, let us rejoice that we have the fake birthday of George Washington to celebrate. Ken has already wrung two (2) posts out of this blessed shopping holiday, and (SPOILER ALERT) you may have another one coming in a few hours! So let’s take this occasion to look at an [...]
